Phishing attacks take advantage of well-known brands (either in the phishing content or in the domain names used as part of phishing attacks. In this post, we show the brands that were most often impersonated, either in the content of the phishing attack, a URL, or as part of a domain name used in the phishing attack.

@pake_preacher : I forgot the details of PAKE and SRP, but in the end the most secure client authentication requires:
1️⃣ Strong, long term, human comprehensible, *serving endpoint* authentication;
*AND*
2️⃣ TLS channel binding (enforcing known endpoints).(Apart from those, both serving endpoint AND client MUST be trustworthy).
🚨 The -corrupt- CA/B forum breaks 1️⃣ by:
a) Advocating anonymous Domain Validated certificates, which render secure account creation IMPOSSIBLE;
b) Continuously decreasing certificate lifetime.🚨 Furthermore, "legitimate" MitM's * break 2️⃣.
* Man in the Middle, like on-device virusscanners and firewalls that "open" TLS tunnels (both requiring installation of a dedicated root certificate) and proxies such as (definitely not limited to) Cloudflare and Fastly.
😱 Passkeys enforce NEITHER 1️⃣ NOR 2️⃣.
😱😱 Worse, because passkeys (or FIDO2 hardware keys) can be easily irretrievably "lost", servers typically provide WAY EASIER phishable authentication methods (such as "rescue codes").

One very interesting charge brought against Trump & his co-conspirators in Georgia is
"conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer", especially when looking at Rudy Giuliani, who used to be called "America's mayor" years ago.
Concerning the number of charges Rudy's playing in the same RICO league as Trump today: 13.https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-trump-allies-named-georgia-indictment-1819729
